true. and in this instance it's fine...so it seems.
but then my thoughts strayed to other scenrarios...what if in a divorce hearing, the wife's attorney used her husband's google searches of "big tits" or "angelina jolie" something to defame his character that he was a reprobate and sway the judge in her favor? what if you were held accountable for everything you've ever googled? a quick check on my recent searches brings up somewhat disturbing stuff if taken out of context. I just googled "mexico purse" because I was looking for a cheesy pic to make fun of someone... what is the slippery slope on this? |

I agree, but I think there are a lot of issues that need to be considered. For one, how was the search history acquired? Was it from his cache on his browser? If so, then I have no problem with it. If Google turned over the records then I have a big problem with it. If the ISP turned over the HTTP requests, then I have a slight problem with it. When I will start getting concerned is when the government is asking for things to be turned over that we expect to be private (encrypted transactions, skype conversations, etc.) -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
